58. [Blood Born] A Hidden Ending Already…? (2)
Action horror game.
Literally, a genre that simultaneously embodies the nature of both action and horror games.
[Blood Born] was an action horror game—a masterpiece that earned acclaim both as a horror game and as an action game.
As a flagship title in a horror game series with such high recognition that each successive installment became a hit, its quality was considerable.
The playtime only grew longer; it was difficult to make it shorter.
Narratively, there was plenty to discover by delving into the story, and the combat difficulty was also quite challenging.
Realistically, no matter how much one rampage through the game, a normal playthrough would always yield roughly eight hours of playtime, no matter how drastically one tried to cut it down.
But───.
Thud.
A sight that shattered that very notion unfolded before us.
Tap, tap-tap-tap─── whoosh.
Inside the mansion, its ceiling shattered, embers still burning, flames continuing to blaze even through the downpour.
Whoosh, swish.
“Hmm.”
Joo Seo-jin stood before the shattered chandelier that had fallen to the center of the hall, casually spinning the fire axe in his hand.
“Did I finish it…?”
The Creature.
The boss monster known as the final boss of [Blood Born] lay crushed beneath the chandelier, confirming its demise.
And the moment Joo Seo-jin set down the fire axe—its blade now jagged and worn—with a soft thunk.
Ding.
「 Achievement Unlocked 」
-Blood Born
* Hidden Ending. A concealed Achievement. You have finally defeated all the blood kin and committed a terrible massacre. …Perhaps it is you, and you alone, who has truly answered the call of blood.
“Looks like I did finish it. Mission clear.”
“….”
A hidden ending.
By clearing the final stage of [Blood Born], I had reached the conclusion of a secret branching path.
And───.
“A hidden ending already…?”
At the same time, Joo Seo-yoon muttered with an expression full of bewilderment.
“Is this real…?”
Likewise.
The viewers too began to flood the chat with their reactions in an instant.
-Wow
“Once I destroyed the Conjoined Twins, everything just progressed at crazy speed lol”
– After the Great Sword, the prophecy came true.
-No, why not subtly insert a flag line in the middle of this?
-???: Did I finish it…? (after turning the final boss into minced meat)
I can’t translate this as it’s not a coherent Korean sentence – it’s just a string of consonants without vowels that don’t form meaningful words.
Lol even if you set up flags, this one won’t survive lol
Honestly, even if I had survived here, I feel like I would’ve gotten completely wrecked anyway.. lol;
I can’t translate this as it’s not a meaningful Korean phrase – it appears to be random consonants/keysmash characters rather than actual words.
From the Conjoined Twins boss fight onward, the playthrough of [Blood Born] proceeded at a breakneck pace.
Between the double-barrel shotgun and the fire axe, cleaving and blasting through enemies with exhilarating force—battle after battle.
Not a single mistake. Not a single moment of crisis. Pure physical dominance pushing through everything to reach this point.
Perhaps that’s why?

━What the hell am I even watching right now..? Seo-jin, you’re absolutely insane?;
The chat erupted with heated reactions through donations, more intense than expected.
[【FlyingFishIsSin】 donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━I watched all the way to the Blood Born ending, but I still don’t understand the story. Is that normal?
Damn, haha
Honestly, everyone’s pretty confused about it too lol
-Yeah yeah, that’s actually normal..
“How am I supposed to know the main story when Seojin ruined it like this, lol”
A legendary situation where you’ve watched all the way to the hidden ending but have no idea what the main story is about lol
-Anyone who knows what Teacher Seojin has done while playing BlackBorn so far: ㄱ-
‘Blood Born’.
Even after witnessing the hidden ending named after the game’s very title, no lingering impression remained.
It was the aftermath of all the major and minor events that should have accompanied the experience being completely skipped.
[【OkayAnalysisCompleteExactly】 donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━So basically, the Blood Born story is about Seo-jin as a deranged serial killer exterminating innocent creatures, and this is the bad ending, right??
-Are you a genius?
I was like “what the hell is this nonsense?” but then I thought about it and it actually seems to be right lol
-The reason Blood Born is a horror game is because it’s about creatures being violated by the primal terror that is Seo-jin;
-The story of a blood-crazed demon who annihilates a family who lived while running a mountain lodge in the mountains.
Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!
-ㄴI ended up being beaten by a post-human level physical killer with max level fighting power ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Ugh, that’s what it was… I didn’t even know it was like that… Damn you, creatures ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Public opinion boiled over, and now Joo Seo-jin had been designated as the root of all evil.
But—.
[Mission]
━Objective: [Blood Born], defeat Conjoined Twins boss without dying, instant elimination
└(※CLEAR!)
━Additional Objective: [Blood Born], clear without using any ranged weapons besides double-barrel shotgun
└(※CLEAR!)
*Mission Reward: ‘3,715,000 won · {Settlement Complete}’
*Additional Mission Reward: ‘1,675,000 won · {Settlement Complete}’
“Mission settlement has been completed. Thank you sincerely.”
-?;
-…
Lol fuck haha
-That’s hilarious;
-No, they’re sneaking in the mission settlement right now lol
It’s not like I did it sneakily—I just did it outright, but honestly, nobody really paid attention to it anyway.
I didn’t expect they would start settling accounts for the mission reward right after unlocking the hidden ending.
I’m not money, but I still gotta do what I gotta do, you know;;
As if indifferent to such matters, Joo Seo-jin nodded and spoke only after finishing his task.
“Right. The ending did clear surprisingly easily, so it seems we didn’t have much opportunity to properly experience the main story.”
-That’s true, but somehow it’s annoying;
lol honestly if someone who doesn’t know the original sees this, they’d probably think the game has no story at all
-But even I know a bit about Blood Born, and this hidden ending feels like I’m seeing it for the first time here
-I honestly have no idea what the hidden ending even means…
The very person who had cleared [Blood Born] was equally clueless about the game’s story.
The same applied to Geom-hu.
Geom-hu, who had fought alongside Joo Seo-jin through the main stages, shook his head with a peculiar expression.
“Hmm-. Now that I think about it, I have no idea about the story behind [Blood Born]’s hidden ending either.”
Geom-hu crossed his arms and tilted his head with a sigh.
“Uh-hm…. Ah. Come to think of it, Myeong Bang-ul would know something about this.”
“…Yes, huh? Are you talking about me?”
“Hmm? Who else did you think I was referring to? Besides Myeong Bang-ul here, there’s no one else who would know.”
“!”
At those words, Joo Seo-yoon’s lips twitched as she put force into her voice.
“Well, hmm. That’s certainly true~? As you know, Geom-hu, I’m rather sharp-minded-”
“Huh? No, I meant I was trusting that you’d have done advance preparation…?”
“?”
“The viewers were saying you’re good at that sort of thing.”
“….”
-That’s praise?
-Wow, officially certified with the advance preparation title lol
-A highly developed technique cannot be distinguished from a compliment.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
A game streamer who studies ahead lol
A brutal truth bomb.
Faced with words grounded in fact, Joo Seo-yoon flinched and lost her composure, letting out a sigh.
“Sigh…. It seems you’ve heard some misinformation and fabrications that don’t match reality, but I’ll graciously overlook it.”
Joo Seo-yoon shrugged helplessly, turned her body slightly, and spoke as if naturally issuing an order.
“Well then, could my assistant come out and explain on my behalf~”
-?
-Translation) If you figure it out, come out and explain it quickly.
-Here we go again with the freeloading attitude, seriously??????????????
-You’re just naturally deceiving the viewers without breaking a sweat, aren’t you?
-The person who did the prep work should be the one explaining, so why are you tricking us..??;
For a moment, the chat erupted with bewildered reactions, but it was brief.
“Ah, well. Deception, you say? Shouldn’t we aim for more refined and proper language? This is viewer participation content~”
-Are you serious;
“This is content where viewers participate (and get easy rewards), right?”
-..I think I just caught a glimpse of Joo Seo-jin’s true nature there, or is it just me?
At Seo Jin’s place, if you can’t play games and become a bit more shameless, your brain gets a little weaker, and if you’re female, that’s basically Myeong Bang-ul… She really does resemble that, for real.
That’s not even similar, lol
I almost agreed with you because you said it so naturally for a moment; lol
-No, it looks so shamelessly similar. I’m doing it lol.
Under the guise of viewer participation content, the real reason trickled out a beat too late.
“…Ahem. And, well, I actually don’t know the details about the [Blood Born] hidden ending. You understand, right?”
-Translation) My prep work didn’t go that far, so do the research for me instead
Hahahahahahahahahahaha
“Oh wow, you’re really serious about eating it raw, aren’t you… you really are…”
Why aren’t you even doing the assigned pre-learning properly?
Originally, Myeong Bang-ul really hated competitive games, so she tended to do her advance studying pretty half-heartedly too, you know.
Still, since I did some advance studying beforehand, things went smoothly, so let’s have a drink.
It was an audacious request, but fortunately a volunteer appeared quickly.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘10,000 won’.]
━So while we’re at the ending, can I just explain the [Blood Born] hidden ending story as a spoiler??
Let’s go.
I watched all the way to the ending, and it’s legendary that they’re calling it a spoiler lol
-The hidden ending story seems like it’ll just end with nobody knowing, so who cares
-Ending without explanation like this would feel oddly unsatisfying though
The [Blood Born] story explained by one of the viewers was concise.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
I suspect roughly what it is, but Blbon is about an experiment on immortal enhanced humans created at the Research Facility.
The repertoire of hidden stories in the main narrative itself was common.
[Blood Born]’s main stage masquerades as an ordinary Mountain Lodge, but it’s actually a research facility operating experimental subjects called Creatures, and for some reason the researchers were either wiped out or subjugated.
Meanwhile, the Headquarters, noticing something was wrong with the project, periodically brought in ordinary people to observe abnormal phenomena from a distance.
They selected those who wouldn’t raise suspicion if they went missing at any time, strung them together, drove them into dangerous situations, and forced research and experimentation to continue.
Therefore───.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━In the Blood Born main story, including Joo Seo-jin, everyone here was just sent as experimental subject fodder
-I see
-Yeah, so that’s what happened
-I think I’ve heard about this much from other places too?
-It seems like this is common knowledge until the branching point diverges within Blood Born itself
-Then what’s different about the hidden ending…? What is it??????
In truth, there existed an underlying secret: everyone entangled with [Blood Born], including the private detective, had been victims all along.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━The hidden ending might be mistaken for the original, but it’s content that’s appeared fairly often overseas. The entry conditions are tricky, but not complicated.
All the triggers for entering the hidden ending in [Blood Born] were set up in the early stages of the game.
You had to kill the Mountain Lodge Caretaker in your initial encounter, and then cause Conjoined Twins to die one way or another, whether directly or indirectly.
And.
When the path to the hidden ending opened, there was one thing different compared to other branching routes.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━Joo Seo-jin had already become infected by creatures and transformed into an enhanced human after killing the Mountain Lodge Caretaker and Conjoined Twins. He wasn’t just human anymore—he’d been a monster from that point on, you know?;
-?
-lol
-Wait, this isn’t a joke—he actually wasn’t human but a monster?;
-I thought it was superhuman-level physicality, but in-game he’d already transcended human classification long ago lol
That was the hidden story of the hidden ending.
The project called ‘Blood Born’ was ultimately designed as immortal research to create enhanced humans, conceived for the purpose of transmission and succession.
It was the embodiment of mad obsession—the thought of dragging all of humanity into the realm of immortality—yet it had only left behind the stain of repeatedly transforming into creatures and losing humanity.
But then—.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━One private detective somehow managed to destroy all the creatures that could be called reasonably successful creations, absorb all the bloodline factors, and accept them without rejection, completely changing the situation
The bloodline factors that should have failed to succeed were instead embedded in the playable character and absorbed without any rejection response.
As a result, the playable character, having inherited and stabilized the power of the Mountain Lodge Caretaker and then Conjoined Twins, turned the tables and annihilated the creatures, slipping away from the scene with ease.
It was a true ending close to miraculous—a literal blood-born birth created by fate.
[【Speedwagon】 has donated ‘1,000 won’.]
━After the hidden ending, you can also view an epilogue where the protagonist, rather than remaining a private detective, becomes active as almost a fixer, gaining notoriety
Since the research team and the organization running the project never learn the true ending, he becomes a superhuman operating in the shadows of the Underworld.
Though he didn’t lose his humanity, his life changed entirely due to his superhuman strength combined with his bellicose nature that revels in combat.
Absurd as it was, it made perfect sense.
-It’s absurd but interesting, but the story??
-Going from private detective to fixer operating in the Underworld is hilarious lol
-It’s not a joke—Joo Seo-jin actually becomes the true boss in the game story??????
-It actually fits him perfectly lololololololololololololol
-For real lol
After hearing the entire ending, everyone let out admiration in unison.
“Huhu. Indeed, what a fitting conclusion for Young Master Joo! To live the life of a wandering hero—how utterly romantic…!!!”
“Wow—. I mean, the game story itself just fits perfectly with oppa? First of all, the fact that his physicality isn’t human-level~ is just perfect, right?”
“….”
Both Geom-hu and Joo Seo-yoon kept remarking how fitting it all was.
But here’s the thing.
“Hmm… I’m not sure if that’s really the case, but honestly? I don’t think it suits me at all.”
“?”
Out of nowhere, Joo Seo-jin suddenly crossed his arms and adopted an unexpectedly defiant tone.
“If you think about it, the whole premise is that the protagonist isn’t normal to begin with… so that’s what doesn’t fit in the first place.”
And then.
“I’m definitely not the type to get along with someone so irrational.”
“?”
“If anything, I’d say it’s the opposite. After all, I’m the reasonable one here.”
“….”
In that instant, Geom-hu and Joo Seo-yoon—along with the entire chat—froze, their gazes converging in a peculiar silence.
Then, breaking through the stillness, a single message drifted across the chat window.
-This is seriously shameless enough to need mirror therapy to heal the mirror itself..?
The tone was utterly exasperated.
